Today’s innovative buildings are designed to be sustainable, adaptable, and energy efficient. Lutron is committed to helping design and construction professionals achieve these goals. We offer solutions for integrated control of daylight and electric light, and unsurpassed project support.

Lutron can help you design and layout any project, ensuring that the light control strategies complement your unique vision. Lutron light control solutions meet the specific requirements of the latest environmental design criteria, including the LEED® Green Building Rating Systems.

Lutron is a national member of the United States Green Building Council and a sponsor of Delaware Valley Green Building Council.

Lutron® strategies for LEED projects include:

• astronomical timeclock scheduling

• occupancy/vacancy sensing

• dimming and switching systems (including fluorescent and LED dimming)

• tuning or high-end trim of light levels

• daylight harvesting

• automated window shades

• glare control

• personal control of light

• real-time monitoring

• load shedding and demand response

• integration to Building Management Systems (BMS)

• commissioning

What is LEED®?

LEED—Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design— is a rating system started in 1998 and administered by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). It provides an objective national standard for what constitutes a green building. It offers a set of scientifically based performance criteria for LEED project certification.

The LEED Green Building Rating Systems address seven topics. Lutron helps with six of the seven categories:

1SustainableSites*—for responsible and environmentally-friendly site selection and design strategies

2WaterEfficiency—for responsible water use and conservation

3EnergyandAtmosphere*—to optimize whole-building energy efficiency

4MaterialsandResources*—to promote responsible waste management and materials selection

5IndoorEnvironmentalQuality*—to minimize contaminants and optimize the indoor environment including the use of lighting controls and daylighting

6InnovationinDesign*—for exemplary performance above LEED requirements or for new green building innovations

7RegionalPriority*—to incentivize the achievement of LEED credits that are important to the local geography

LEED® 2009 rating systems

02 | Lutron

New Construction and Major Renovations

The LEED for New Construction rating system is designed to guide and distinguish high-performance commercial and institutional projects, including office buildings, high-rise residential buildings, government buildings, recreational facilities, manufacturing plants and laboratories.

Core and Shell Development

LEED for Core and Shell is a green building rating system for designers, builders, developers and new building owners who want to address sustainable design for new core and shell construction. Core and shell covers base building elements such as structure, envelope and the HVAC system. LEED for Core and Shell is designed to be complementary to the LEED for Commercial Interiors rating system, as both rating systems establish green building criteria for developers, owners and tenants.

Schools

The LEED for Schools rating system recognizes the unique nature of the design and construction of K-12 schools. Based on the LEED for New Construction rating system, it addresses issues such as classroom acoustics, master planning, mold prevention and environmental site assessment.

By addressing the uniqueness of school spaces and children’s health issues, LEED for Schools provides a unique, comprehensive tool for schools that wish to build green, with measurable results. LEED for Schools is the recognized third-party standard for high-performance schools that are healthy for students, comfortable for teachers, and cost-effective.

Commercial Interiors

LEED for Commercial Interiors is the green benchmark for the tenant improvement market. It is the recognized system for certifying high-performance green interiors that are healthy and productive places to work, are less costly to operate and maintain, and have a reduced environmental footprint. LEED for Commercial Interiors gives the power to make sustainable choices to tenants and designers, who do not always have control over whole building operations.

Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance

The LEED for Existing Buildings rating system helps building owners and operators measure operations, improvements, and maintenance on a consistent scale, with the goal of maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. LEED for Existing Buildings addresses whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues (including chemical use), recycling programs, exterior maintenance programs, and systems upgrades. It can be applied both to existing buildings seeking LEED certification for the first time and to projects previously certified under LEED for New Construction, Schools, or Core and Shell.

Certification levels for all LEED® 2009 rating systems:

100 base points plus 10 bonus points

Certified:40 – 49 points

Silver:50 – 59 points

Gold:60 – 79 points

How do Lutron solutions contribute to LEED® 2009 certification?

Sustainable Sites

LightPollutionReduction

IntentoftheCredit: Minimize light trespass from the building

LutronSolution:• Automated window shades with the right

fabrics prevent light from escaping the building

• Occupancy sensors turn lights off when spaces are vacant to save energy and prevent light pollution from escaping the building

• Timeclock scheduling can be used to provide a building lighting sweep at night so that lights are off or set to a low dimmed level at certain times, saving energy and preventing light pollution

Energy and Atmosphere

Commissioning

IntentoftheCredit: Verify that the building’s energy systems are

installed, calibrated, and performing effectively

Lutron project profiles

Hotel AristaNaperville,Illinois

This hotel requires a guestroom lighting control system that supports the highest level of guest satisfaction, delivers energy savings and sustainability, and provides flexibility and simplicity; their choice—a Lutron Stanza™ system.

Hotel Arista is the first LEED certified hotel in Illinois, as recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). With the help of the Lutron Stanza lighting control system, it uses 21% less energy than the typical hotel property while providing unparalleled convenience and comfort to its guests.

Exelon HeadquartersChicago,Illinois

Exelon Corporation, one of the nation’s largest energy companies, chose Lutron EcoSystem® for their renovated office headquarters in the landmark Chase Tower. With the help of the Lutron system, the flagship headquarters became the largest office space (10 floors, approximately 220,000 square feet) to earn a Platinum rating in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for Commercial Interiors rating system.

Lutron energy conservation strategies such as dimmable lighting, daylight harvesting, and occupancy sensing helped the project achieve a 50% reduction in annual energy costs and 43% less energy than its previous offices. This savings is enough money to pay for the project’s green features in less than five years.

Sidwell Friends Middle SchoolWashington,D.C.

When Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. recently upgraded its Middle School building, the administration decided that, in order to live up to the school’s Quaker ideal of environmental stewardship, the building would have to be transformed into a LEED Platinum certified facility.

Sidwell was able to attain that rating with a host of sustainable design features, including the EcoSystem® lighting control solution from Lutron. The Lutron system helped Sidwell cut lighting energy consumption by 92%, and overall energy use by 55%.
